Medicine Cabinet Meeting
I have been doing well as of late. Classes, commitments, and friends have kept me on my toes. I spent over 12 hours writing and typing a ridiculously redundant math paper. I can’t even believe all the work I did. Twelve pages, some of which were single-spaced. Ugh.
Despite my 132, my bowling team got eliminated from the in-class tournament today. Ryan on the other team got 201! He got like 7 strikes. It was ridiculous. We placed fifth out of the ten teams. Respectable, but nothing to brag about. As a result, I am ditching Friday since I will just be stuck free bowling as the remaining four teams battle it out for the championship. Winners get some free answers on their final. That class meets only four more times. Very sad. On the one hand, I will appreciate the new free (sleep) time, but I have really grown to enjoy bowling. I plan on making it a permanent weekend fixture. Cheap entertainment! Speaking of that, I am going to see a free showing of “Dreamgirls” and “The Pursuit Of Happyness” with Kirsten Friday night at 6:30. I may meet up with others for partying of some kind afterwards.
So, the gay thing has been all right. I told my sister yesterday night. She was crying because she was so happy for me. That made me tear up a little. She jokingly said she will make sure Aviva does not call me auntie Brian. I have told most of my “easy” people. My aunt Cindy is the last of that batch. I’ll chat with her tonight. Of course, my parents top the “hard” list. That may or may not happen over spring break. I plan on telling them in person. I just know I am not exactly ready right now. In ten days, I may be singing a different (Broadway) tune.
Apparently, everyone else knew or suspected it. Why was I the last to know?! I heard some interesting conversations regarding my being gay. Last month, my grandparents asked Jenny when they were at her house when I planned on coming out. Old people are more observant that I thought! Also, my aunt Cindy talked to Madge about it. She just said keeping it in was affecting how I behaved. I needed to get my sexual frustrations out somehow. I can agree with that to a certain extent.
I am attempting to grow some pretty pathetic facial hair. Sort of a goatee thing. Never had much luck with that.
Today ended my third reading and writing tutoring session with a fifth grade girl, named Leah. Twice a week I travel to this nearby elementary school and work with her for about 30 minutes. She is extremely intelligent. She could easily get away with reading a high school-oriented text. I wonder if she would understand alliterations, foreshadowing, and similar elements of novels. I guess I could write a lesson plan that involves discussing these terms, what they mean, and examples of them. Anyway, she is not a big writing fan, which gives me an area to focus on. If I can convey to her my natural enthusiasm for writing, some of that may permanently rub off on her. Then I will have made a true difference **yawn**.
Unfortunately, I am so burnt out from penning that math essay that I just have to stop here. I desperately need a breather.
Spring break in 10!
